  • FEB 16 – Dwayne Morgan – Parent Workshop Race & Our Children – This session looks at how race impacts our children, how they see themselves, what they imagine as their potential for the future, and how we can better live together in a world that no longer pretends that race isn’t a thing that affects us all.
